Browning's 1911-22 Compact is a Commander-sized 1911 reduced in size to perfectly match the .22 Long Rifle cartridge while still retaining the look and feel of the original. The grip is comfortable even in large hands and feels equally at home in smaller ones. The straight blowback design offers enhanced simplicity and reliability and all controls operate just like those on the original. Vertical serrations provide an improved cocking grip and the convenient manual slide release is easily operated with the shooting or support hand. The steel magazine body is heat-treated for long-term feeding reliability.
